We had a wonderful time staying at Teresa's rental home. The listing descriptions and photos online were very accurate. Her place was clean, contemporary, safe, and conveniently located near shops and restaurants. Coquitlam Mall is only a five minute drive, for example. The place comes with shared parking in her driveway, and a backyard for private use during your stay. The rental can comfortably accommodate 4-6 persons. The modern kitchen is fully equipped, and the unit comes with its own washer and dryer. Other bonus features includes free Wi-Fi. The unit is on the first floor of a duplex home with a separate back entrance, while Teresa lives upstairs with her family. Aside from the occasional sounds of footsteps upstairs, the rental and the neighborhood was generally very peaceful and quiet.

Vancouver is about a 30-60 minute drive away, depending on traffic and rush hour conditions, and whether you get to use the HOV lanes. The area of Coquitlam is definitely suburban, very lush with trees and vegetation, and away from the hustle and bustle of Vancouver city. Teresa and her family were very friendly and great hosts.

I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to fellow travelers. Thank you for your hospitality, Teresa!

This apartment had everything one wishes for a pleasant stay. It was comfortable, spacious and there was a garden where we enjoyed breakfast a couple of times. From this apartment it was very easy to travel to either downtown Vancouver or eastwards to the Rocky Mountains. The quiet, safe neighborhood was another plus and we will remember this place as a wonderful home on our first trip to beautiful British Columbia.

The best Property for vacation!

We had a great and relaxing time in your house Teresa! Everything was perfect! Well decorated house, in a perfect location for all attractions in Vancouver. Thank you so much for all your tips and suggestions - a great help for people coming for the first time in Vancouver. We definitely will come and stay again in your house - it sure fills like home. The house is located close to restaurants and groceries stores as well as to the big mall. You are not going to miss anything. Just perfect!

A great stay in Coquitlam (Vancouver BC)

My stay was wonderful as all amenities were perfect in this warm, very clean and charming apartment in a home. I slept well at night (quiet neighbourhood) allowing me to work hard nearby and play at night. I even got a free Salsa dance lesson. My host was warmhearted and very considered. She thought of everything upfront and then left me alone to enjoy my stay. I highly recommend staying here.

Perfect for our needs!

We rented this property for 8 nights while visiting family in Coquitlam in early Sept. It is located in a very nice family neighborhood. The space was lovely, bright, neat & clean, nicely decorated, nice quality furnishings, well equipped with all the linens & towels we needed. It is a fairly large space with two well separated bedrooms, lots of storage to tuck luggage away, and lots of room to relax, have meals etc. There were 4 of us, so we used the fold out couch for a third bed. Teresa was a great host, - friendly & very accomodating when we made a request. She even welcomed us with freshly ground coffee for the first morning! The kitchen is very nice, has limited supplies, but the essentials you really need to make basic meals, toast, coffee etc. There is a stackable washer/dryer right in the kitchen that was awesome to have available as we brought the wrong mix of clothing and ended up needing to do a wash while we were there. - she provided the laundry soap so there was no need to run out & purchase a big bottle just to do one or two washes. It was such a convenient location - there was a beautiful walking trail just steps away! It is right in the heart of a neighborhood, close to a pool, not far from a mall & grocery store (drive distance), everything was really convenient! While the price initially sounded a bit high, as we researched hotels, we realized it was cheaper than renting two hotel rooms, & we were able to make most our meals there, allowing us to save lots of money on dining out. It was really an ideal place for our needs. My mom uses a cane - this place had easy access with no stairs, but the bathtub was really deep so it was a big step for her, but otherwise the apartment was easy for her to get around. We are already talking about going back in a year & staying here if it is available. We would certainly recommend it

Our apartment is located in the city of Coquitlam, 30 minutes drive away from Vancouver. Stay close to everything what the city of Vancouver has to offer, while enjoying the peacefulness and serenity of suburban living and outdoor activities of the Vancouver coast.

Each morning you can take a 25 minutes scenic ride on the West Coast Express to down town Vancouver. The express train will take you back to Coquitlam in the afternoon.

Coquitlam has currently over 80 parks ranging from smaller neighbourhood parks and playgrounds to larger city parks.

Outdoor sport enthusiasts can choose from a few gulf courses in the area, or tennis courts just a walking distance away. The Coquitlam's trail system encompasses about 90km of hiking trails. A number of picturesque lakes and connecting waterways make up for a paradise for canoe or kayaking lovers.
